atarianer2003 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 hi everybody what the hell is happened on my 7800 system? it sends pics only in b/w (including the built-in asteroids), at 1 module there's no sound (Super Ferrari by Quelle). what should i do? mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 sounds like the RF tuner needs to be adjusted to me...but usually you only get BW picture with sound..or you can go to BW without sound...but not usually sound on most..and not on others... either way...I suspect the RF tuner needs adjusting... There is also the color wheel inside for both the 2600 side..and the 7800 side. Do 2600 carts come up in color..and only the 7800 ones are in BW or any come up in color at all. If only 7800 stuff is in BW..then it is possible the wheel for that needs to be adjusted or turned but if both 2600 and 7800 are doing it then I stick with the RF needed adjustment itself.

Video Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Hmm.....Wait a minute...there's an Asteroids game built into the system? I never knew that. Why is asteroids on carts then? Or is it certain systems, like Pal or soething? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarianer2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Author Share Posted April 29, 2003 Hello again I removed the screening plate in the 7800 and now: All games in COLOR and WITH sound!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I found that when I removed the big shiny metal sheild plate thingy inside my Pal 7800 my picture also improved, then after fiddling inside a bit, I put the shiny metal thingy back in again....and my picture is slightly grainy again. I put the sheild back in because I didn't want it to interfere with my home cinema equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobf Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Yeah the quality of the RF output really is shocking. I used to use my 7800 for playing 2600 games, but then I tried a jr after a long break and the picture was so much better I went back to using that. Kinda defeats the point of the 2600 compatibility I think I know you can mod the output, but I never get round to it, and know next to nothing about electronics. The French 7800 has a SCART output instead though. I keep meaning to pick one up off Ebay.fr. I'm interested to see how better the picture is. Jobf.

Miqorz Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Bleh! Looks like I'll have to mod my 7800 for AV support...it's messing up my cable signal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 A/V outut as standard on French models? Are you sure? IF so then I want one, but then again..... Are they Pal or Secam? I tried to mod my 7800 but it was a failure, and I would love A/V outputs, even if it's a scart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to mod my 7800 but it was a failure, and I would love A/V outputs, even if it's a scart. The French 7800s are SCART RGB (no difference between PAL and SECAM at the RGB level). I can't remember for sure, but I don't believe the cable includes the composite signal. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I'd actually have preferred composite or S-vid but RGB will be ok, I'd just have to hook it up differently. RGB seems a bit over the top for a 7800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Try playing some 2600 games in RGB. Talk about overkill. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
